RAP 0 Posted January 4, 2019 How are you introducing your kids to Star Trek? How do you teach them about how Trek is different from the millions of other sci-fi/fantasy/action-adventure franchises competing for attention these days?

trekz 7 Posted January 18, 2019 Having read your entire post, it seems to me you have done a good job! My thought, over the years, is that the "owners" of the franchise, Paramount and CBS, have down a poor job of licensing products that will attract kids., especially compared to Star Wars. The TAS animated series was great for it's time and had some pretty good stories. I would think some updated animations for TNG would be great and could attract more young people, It would seem "logical" that CBS and Paramount would want more young fans to keep the franchise going boldly into the future.

RAP 0 Posted January 18, 2019 I completely agree. Along those lines, since writing my post, CBS announced a kid-friendly animated series is in development (as you most likely saw reported about 10 days ago). https://trekmovie.com/2019/01/08/breaking-kid-friendly-star-trek-animated-series-in-development-animated-short-treks-coming-this-year/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
